vfore-mentioned top-pieces. The ends of such batteries were constructed of separate or individual blocks of fiat forni or shapel extendiner baelr tothe wall, the front edge thereoi being covered by molded pilasters.

A battery of such urinal stalls embraced twelve pieces in al1-for` a two-part combination',as 'followszt-Wo bodies; two ends; two end top pieces; one center top piece; three pilasters, and' two top joint covers, and .all showingat the intersecting points more or less widely separated joints which y were yfilled with plaster. 4This plaster not beingA provided with glaze soon became soiled and thus damaged the appearance of y the urinal' stallin additionA to being .uns sanitary on acdount ot the absorptive qualities of theplaster. A iurtlnfr type of such batteries has also been devised, in which thestall is in the nature ot' an earthenware l box ,with an openfront, itsl body being semicircular-in iorm vand its bottom extending forward so as to make the dri p-pan for the receptor, the to )of which is designed to be level with -the oor and in which the floor ldrip could drain, but such an arrangement afforded no guarantee againstA leakage betweenthe outer ed e ofthe receptor and the floor. Stalls othis type were set up with a partition piece between `them of the same material. Sometimes this partition piece 'was extended forward bevond the base ot the receptor' to a considerable distance,

thus al'l'ording -more extended partitions between adjaceht :stalls Iand nndercutj from knee-high tothe floor. Again .they were onlyextended forward a sufficient v distance to give an ornamental efi'eet, but in either case any variation of any number of such stalls from a t1-ue. parallelogram as`4 to vits sides 'made it necessary to fill the spaces with' plaster, thereby offering the same objections nrged to the first. described battery-of individualstalls. In a twostal] battery of this type it will,theretore, be apparent that tive pieces instead of twelve are necessary;

that 1s to say, two integral body pieceswith Furthermore, with either ofthe types l'above described it "has been found impossiblejto forni between'the outer top'edge of the receptor and thev floor, after such -urinalstalls have been placed in position against the wall or back lto backwhen thus "disposed,` an absolutely' Water tight 110 jOilntf" l' r. v K

It was with la view of .overcoming the sevone of my improved stalls4 illustrating the floor at the base thereof in section. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken through Fig. on the line C-C and as seen looking thcreat from left to right. in the direction of' the arrows. Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of' one of the intermediate partitions used in a battery ot' my novel urinal stalls. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View taken through Fig. l on a plane. indicated by the line and letters A and as seen looking thereat from the top toward the bottom of the drawings in the direction of the arrows; and Fig.`

('i is a similar view taken through Fig. 1 upon a plane indicated by the line and letters li-l and as seen looking from the top toward the bottom of the drawings; Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken through Fig. 4 on thc lines -l)--l) and as seen looking thereatfrom4 left. to right in the direction of the arrows. Fig. S is a similar view taken through one of the. end-plates or 'partitions as seen on the right and left of Fig. l.

liefcrring now to the drawings in detail in which all letters ot reference and numerals represent. like parts wherever used. l*` represents the, floor and T the wall of a room in which is located a battery of my novel urinal stalls, said stalls being assembled upon the floor with the backs thereof againstthe wall. as clearly' indicated in Figs. l, 5 and G. I

t represents the body of an individual stall and 2 the receptor therefor having the usual formation or` .shape and extending downward below the bottom of the stall wherein is provided thcusual outlet, 3 representing the top ot' the stall and 4 a driplip with its top edge at the floor level.

5 constitutes an essential feature of my invention, in that it embraces a ledge or extension on the outer or front face of the receptor and beyond the drip-lip 4,'the npper surface ot' which ledge ispreferably roughened in such manner as to enable the builder in putting the stall in place to effect. a water-tight joint with cement, concrete,

or any of the well known flooring subbetween the stall and the floor` stances proper. as will be. fully apparent on inspection of Fig. 3, -so that there will always be a c hainage from the licor surface 'by Way of thel glazed drip-lip 4 into the receptor and without any possibility of surface leakvage between the urina] stall and the joint titions designed for use where two or more stalls are to be assembled in'battery form, said partitions being molded or cast with the usual front separating' part 8 extending from -knee height up to thev top ofthe stall, and additionally witlrtwjotlateally extending ledges 7, l', designed 'to fit accurately over the front edges and top surfaces of adjoining stalls where two or more such stalls constitute a single battery. The outer or end plates or partitions 6 are provided each with a like laterally extending ledge 7 on one edge face only. The severalparts are assembled in the manner clearly illustrated in Figs. 1, 5 and G and the close itting joints are filled with the .necessary cement to effect the best operative results, so that it will be apparent'that I am enabled to produce a battery ofurinal stalls in which there is a` minimum number of parts, there being required only three such parts for a single stall, and also in which the joints are of such a nature as to afford the best possible effect with the least possible damage in the event of any sagging of the parts. lt will also be apparent that, as before sta-ted. in view of the integral nature of all of Athe parts of an individual stall and by reason of the extension 5 I am .ibled to provide a stall either for individual use or for use in a battery of thc same in which absolutely water-tight effects may be had as between the drip-lip of each stall and the floor upon which the battery is assembled, thus providing a stall having the best possible sanitary effects. i

Having thus described my invention what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- 1.V Av u rinal stall embracing a body, a top, and a. receptor in one integral piece and two end plates each constructed of a single piece of material and having lateral top and side ledges adapted when in place to extend over the top, the side facesv and front edges ofthe stall, substantially as described. 4 Y
